first of all if you read my post i never said he played or had games on it....I bought the phone used off of a guy on craigslist. When i got home i just handed it to my son and told him we will set everything up after dinner. As my post states we never got that far because he locked it up. now if u can help me figure this out it would be nice sirs....if not have a good day

HI THERE,
i AM SUPER NOOB. DO NOT USE ANY TERM WITHOUT EXPLAINING PLEASE.
i have the rogers play with 2.3.3. i did root it before using that app that would root your phon with just installing it. now after i updated to 2.3.3. that didnt work.
im wondering if now there is a new version of it?! if not please tell me what is the easiest wy to root the phone. and if u are going to help me please speak noob language. dont just say stuff cuz u assume i know it. im new to all this. never flashed any phone or anything like that. lol
thanks a lot. i need this cuz im getting low space msg and i have lotf or rogers crap on my phone that i want to get rid of. thank youuuuuuuu
You are so noob that you did not read the rules posted in this section. You are supposed to ask all questions in the general area.
You need to be saved from yourself so im not answering you question until you read until your eyes bleed.
Some proper English would help. If you don't know what your doing, and need step by step instructions, you shouldn't be rooting your Play anyway.

Don't create another thread for an existing issue . This is get you nowhere. Wait for the developers to comeback.
I guess for now its the only thing that could be done out of simplicity,
when I sent my phone in I flashed back to the Rogers 2.3.3 / .145 firmware. I get my phone back on OCT 17th, so I'll let you guys know what's up by then

Hi.
I thought there is no solvation of the problem until now. Only thing is to use an old firmware with a patch, which makes the battery show only 1 percent all the time and the phone stays on without charging.
Or is there something i am missing?
Thanks,
Marco
According to all the threads I've read sending the phone to SE for repairs is the only viable solution, at least if you're still on warranty. That includes the thread linked to in this thread.

I've read the threads both here and in the Neo forum, and have found no good solution. What search parameters should I use to find this secret thread with all the answers?
I put my Arc to SE as this happened to me and i am getting a straight replacement as my handset is less than 28 days old, though when speaking to SE on the phone they said they are aware of the problem and working towards a solution aswell, and i told him of all the users on xda with same problem and they know about it and acknowledged the work of the developers on here trying to solve it also
Seems like SE is watching the forum to some degree, nice to know that they not only support devs but watch what were all upto

No need to get aggresive, but yes, if that thread was a rattlesnake, it would have bitten him like a dozen times, and yet he wouldn't have noticed.
...which leads to the thread I've already commented...
In case I really am a dumbass and you're NOT talking about the thread pecholino linked to further upthread, could you please link to it? I'm not trying to be difficult, but the temporary fix is not better than having the phone repaired if you're on warranty. If there is another fix I seriously can't find it, and may die of rattlesnake poisoning.

Xperia T is the their flagship and annoyingly it is cheaper in the UK than what the S was.
No .50 for Generic UK
Stock UK here and 6.1.A.2.50 just showed up. I had previously put the latest Italian ICS rom on though - later than the 453 one so that might have been why.
Still no UK Generic

As some of you probably know, Sony released the excellent Playstation Mobile store to it's Playstation certified devices.
This includes the Xperia Play! (Super Crate Box anyone!)
http://www.playstation.com/psm/store/en.html
HOWEVER, the Verizon Xperia Play won't install it running 2.3.2 (needs 2.3.4). I believe there is an official (but buggy) 2.3.4 update that can be gotten OTA. However I purchased a blacklisted Xperia because I only wanted it for games and it will not do OTA updates.
My phone is rooted and has the X-parts recovery app installed for CFW and recovery.
What is my best option for getting this app on my phone?
THANKS!
I am on 2.3.3 Verizon R800x and it works fine for me... no issues

OK great, so it probably only needs 2.3.3.
So what is the best way to upgrade my rooted 2.3.2 to 2.3.3?
Thanks!
I'd use flashtool to flash the 2.3.3 update. Then use superoneclick to reroot your phone which still works on 2.3.3.
You can grab 2.3.3 from here (R800x is the verizon version which you maybe know but just making sure ):
http://xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/233-se-stock-firmware-for-flashtool.html
Just flash the 2.3.3 ftf file for r800x using flashtool.

Have you tried playing it in the bathroom or a waiting room using your laptop? Just not as good.
Hell even playing it on the couch sucks when playing on a laptop. Also not as good without a controller. Which yes you can use for you PC, but even less portable.
Is that worth $3.50 to be able to play on the Vita and the Xperia play for one price? Hells to the yes!
When i want to play SCB, i'll sit to my desktop. When i want to play it on my couch i'll just load Minecraft or Asphalt 7, because i dont need to play same game everywhere, all day 'n' night
Anyways i dont have credit card and we dont have prepaid cards there and also there arent any Google Play giftcards. And i hate warez also.

That's great. Me either. That's why I play full scale games on my PC and small bite sized games like SCB on my Xperia Play.
So you want to judge me for spending $3.50 to play a game more suited to portables, on a portable? That's why you jumped in this thread? To attack me for buying a game on a portable that I could get for free on a PC?
Thanks for adding to the discussion.
LOL @ the ppl at XDA, srsly you should read that again. I just pointed that the game is free on PC and paid on portable devices.. That should be opposite. And you are talking like i punched you 10times to face and then said you are awful ******.

When you begin a sentence pointing out something is fee with "LOL". That suggests you are laughing at someone for paying for it.
I didn't ask you anything, you just jumped in the the thread to LOL because the game is free on PC.
And nobody acted like you did what you described, that's ridiculous.
Maybe english is not your first language and you don't realise how it reads.
To be clear, I wasn't offended by what you said, just pointing out why the fact that is free on PC is irrelevant to my desire to play it on my Xperia. The game is amazing, it's a perfect fit for a portable and $3.50 is next to nothing. It's also the last type of game I care to play on a PC. The Xperia and the Vita is a perfect fit.
